At a Pearl River District public security oonferenoe in early November 1951
it was deoid.Qd to, place secret agents in Macao under the direction of agents
in Hong Kong so as to promote a closer integration of the work in the two
colonies. It was also decided that unnecessary units in Macao, such as the
Special Administrative Office and the Public Security Office, would be
abolished in the interest of unity and to prevent the outflow of foreign
exchange .1
2. It was rumored, in Macao that K'O t n was being detained in Canton in con-
neotion with K'O Chax,&-p'ing's absconding with Nan Kuang Company funds.2

November,a d retorted that his efforts to see K'O L.i hA
unsucces.sfui,
and thbC( K'0 had not been seen since he went to the government building on
12 November in response to a summons from YELi Chien-ying.3

and by the bombing of the homes of his assistants, MA wan-chi and CH's
Wen-kuanr4, indicated in iovember that he wished to resign from his post
as chairman of -the Macao Cumber of Comraeroe. CHIT Man assured him that
the Chinese Communist Party was investigating the threatening letter and
the bombings and would do its best to protect HQ. LIANG Ch'ang and other
Macao businessmen who had be purchasing strategic materials for the Chinese
Cozamuni.sts also d farad :iO thfir support. At the same tipae, the Macao

asked P. J. Lobo, director of the Bureau of Finance, to persuade 110 to keep
the position, HU Ao-jung {; ) and others representing the so-sailed
Democratic clique were actively supporting MA YPaa-ch''i for the chairmanship
in the hope of making the Chamber of Commerce wholly Communist.5

Kwafgtung Trade Bureau and former manager cf the Nan Kuang Trading Company,
and JAO Han-hsiang (4 of the South Gina Sub-Bureau, attended the
meeting. FANG Fang accused the Macao District Committee of having bungled
1 organizing the 1 Ootober celebration and in having failed to halt the
Nationalist; oelebrat.ion an 10 October; of having failed to detect h'O
Chong-p'ing's activities until after he had absconded with the an Kuang
Company's funds, or to d4ie6ter the Nationalist agents responsible for the
bombings and fires which had occurred. FANG said the Macao District Com-
mittee would be reorganized. After the meeting, YEH Chao, secretary of
